About the class:
This comprehensive 12-week partner-coached class focuses on preparation for natural childbirth and parenthood. We will focus on a wide variety of topics relating to pregnancy, the birth process and adjusting to life after baby as a couple. Our class will include birth videos, relaxation practices, labor rehearsals, discussion and communication exercises. One of the best things about a 12 week class is the development of friendships with other parents-to-be. We will also cover the importance of choosing a birth team and place that support your goals, the creation of a birth plan, and the importance of flexibility in birth. The goal of this class is to give you the tools and confidence to feel prepared and empowered in your decision making and to feel at peace with your birth journey wherever it might lead.

We will read a couple interactive books, sing songs, jam out with musical instruments, play with a parachute, AND pop bubbles!!

Course Objectives:
Baby Sign & Play Classes provide an interactive learning session for child and parent to begin the path to learn basic sign language communication skills. Research has shown how pre-verbal children, who learn ASL, have reduced frustration and stress by being able to convey their needs and feelings. Learning Sign Language is a fun way for the whole family to learn a second language.

Course Structure:
Class begins with a Welcome Song. We will introduce the words for the week and use them in finger plays and songs. In the middle of class a short “free play” time will be available for children to explore items used to reinforce our new signs and for parents to interact with them. We may also use CD songs and possible clips from the Signing Time series to reinforce the daily theme. Class will end with a Goodbye song. Tips, resources and suggested materials will be available in class.

Join us every Monday at 3:30pm for Baby Play Group! We sing songs, play with musical instruments and let babies have lots of interactive, social, free-play time. Since this class is designed for our smallest of customers to socialize, we encourage families with non-mobile, crawling and/or cruising babies to attend. Older children are welcome to attend our free-time play, dance, music and story time classes.

This informative class is a great introduction to the Breastfeeding topic. Practicing Doula and certified breastfeeding instructor, Leticia Moran will arm you with the knowledge to help make decisions about breastfeeding that are right for you and your baby. Cost is $20/couple and paid directly to the instructor. Time will be allowed for Q&A at the end of class, so come prepared with questions! So that we have enough materials on hand, please email [email protected] to RSVP.

Designed to provide children with unique musical experiences, the 30-minute EXPLORE MUSIC class will incorporate group play and interaction, pre-K skills (sharing, following simple directions, attending-to-task, etc.) and dancing/movement to work on gross/fine motor skills. While music is highly motivating, it can also have a calming and relaxing effect. Bring your little ones in TUESDAY morning for activities that are designed to be success-oriented and make the children feel better about themselves!! The cost will be $5/child payable directly to the instructor, Rebecca Faulkner.
